Steel Dynasty - Chapter 883

[Chapter 881 Secret Message]

Lin Youde rubbed his palms uneasily, not paying attention to what his friends around him were saying. It wasn’t until he was slapped hard that he came back to his senses.

“Brother Lin, are you still worried about the Northern Army?” a congressman said with a smile.

“No, I’m just afraid of blood.” Lin Youde glanced at Yao Hongtao who was lying in a pool of blood.

The congressman turned his head and sneered, “A general who escapes from battle deserves to die.”

Lin Youde smiled in agreement and did not answer. The other party seemed a little bored and turned around to walk towards other congressmen. At this time, he breathed a sigh of relief. .

For him, these days were really difficult. After the secret guard gave him the undercover task, he came to Chu State. He has been doing business in Chu State for the past five or six years.

After the Merchants’ Council was established, he received the task of sneaking into the Merchant’s Council and snooping on the council’s internal information at any time.

However, he is only a low-status member of the parliament and rarely gets any big news. However, Cao Kun’s words today made him unable to sit still.

Because the last words were too shocking, if Cao Kun really got talents from Qingzhou University, he believed that Cao Kun would send these talents to the UK as soon as possible.

After all, the secret guards had gained insight into the relationship between Cao Kun and the British association, and the establishment of the merchants’ council was also established under the instruction of this association.

At the same time, France and Britain, the mortal enemies, came together because of their common interests and supported the merchant parliament established by Cao Kun.

And this parliament is something that even their country does not have. Everything Cao Kun is preaching now is just fallacies that are organized to demagogue people.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that European countries are feeling uneasy about the scientific and technological development of the Great Chongqing, and they are trying their best to obtain the various science and technologies of the Great Chongqing.

So if what Cao Kun said is true, Dayu may face a loss of technical talents. In order to avoid this problem, he must pass on this news.

After returning home, Lin Youde immediately took out a piece of white paper, and then he took out a small box.

Opening the box, there was some white powder inside. He poured the powder into a basin and added some water. Then he used a brush dipped in the transparent liquid to record all the information.

After he finished writing, he let the white paper dry. The white paper was still white, with no writing visible.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Lin Youde stuffed the white paper into his sleeve, stood up and walked out of the city.

Nowadays, due to the war, a large number of displaced people gathered outside Suzhou to beg. In order to show the kindness of the merchant council, Cao Kun would send people to give porridge outside the city every day, and at the same time look for young men to join the council army.

These congressmen would occasionally go there for the same purpose as Cao Kun.

When he arrived outside the city, Lin Youde went to the porridge stall as usual. On one side of the stall was a stall full of steamed buns, and some soldiers were distributing them to the people.

Lin Youde took the opportunity to take out the folded white paper from his sleeve. After waiting for a while, he saw a dirty middle-aged man walking in front of him. He picked up a steamed bun, put the bun on the paper and handed it to him. Got that man.

“Wait a minute!”

Just when a stone fell in Lin Youde’s heart, a voice sounded. He turned his head, and Cao Zhengtong came to him with a row of soldiers.

“Lin Youde, you are really leisurely and relaxed, and you are still in the mood to serve porridge at this time.” Cao Zhengtong said sarcastically.

Lin Youde said calmly: “I believe in Buddhism and have always been compassionate and kind to all living beings. I come here to give alms at this time of every month. Everyone knows this.”

Cao Zhengtong looked at Lin Youde suspiciously. He suddenly looked at the man’s face. He took the steamed bun out of his hand, and then picked up the paper wrapping the steamed bun.

“Then why do you always like to wrap steamed buns in white paper?” Cao Zhengtong looked at the white paper carefully. There was nothing on it, and he suddenly relaxed.

Lin Youde said calmly: “These freshly made steamed buns are too hot. You can use paper to separate them. Look, there is a lot of paper here. This is specially prepared by Lin for the soldiers.”

Cao Zhengtong glanced at the steamed buns The paper in front of him frowned. He returned the bun to the man, snorted and turned away.

After the congressmen left, he stepped up patrols to prevent insiders from spreading news. Lin Youde’s presence here at this time would inevitably arouse his suspicion.

He originally thought that Lin Youde was a mole who used the soup kitchen to spread the news, but after checking and finding nothing, he could only continue to stare at other congressmen.

Seeing Cao Zhengtong leaving, Lin Youde’s eyes flashed with an unnoticed smile. In fact, he had been using this method to deliver news during this period.

He also specially prepared the white paper in front of the steamed bun stall from the beginning. After a long time, both soldiers and congressmen became accustomed to it.

And in order to avoid arousing suspicion, the person who comes to contact each time is different, and everything is perfect.

He continued to give porridge to the people at the city gate for a while, and Lin Youde returned to the city before dark.

Taking advantage of the darkness, the man who received the steamed buns stuffed the white paper into his belt and walked all the way to the river, where there was a boatman belonging to the secret guard.

The next day, the secret letter was delivered to Jinling City.

“Your Majesty, the secret message from Suzhou City has arrived.” At noon, Li San entered the main hall of the palace.

Xiao Ming took the secret letter, but it was blank with nothing on it. He was not surprised, but took out a bottle of water from the table and poured it on the white paper.

Suddenly, three rows of blue writing were revealed.

At this time, he taught the secret guard one of the many ways to write a secret letter. This time Lin Youde used the simplest starch secret letter. As long as the starch comes into contact with iodine, the writing on the secret letter will be exposed.

After scanning the contents of the secret letter, Xiao Ming frowned and said to Li San: “Lin Youde said that Cao Kun has hidden secrets in Qingzhou College and these elites will soon go to Jiangnan?”

“How is this possible? “

Nowadays, students at Qingzhou University must be called by name. Even former students who enter the factory need to go to the security station to be called by name every day. They also need guidance from the security station when leaving the city. How could they escape? “Li San shook his head.

Xiao Ming didn’t believe it either. Just like Li San said, in order to avoid the leakage of talents, he set up strict restrictions to prevent these people from running around.

“Cao Kun is not necessarily talking nonsense. After all, he relies on this to boost his morale.” Xiao Ming said to Li San: “You should immediately notify the Qingzhou guards to keep an eye on the students of Qingzhou University. There must be nothing wrong.”

Li San Nodding, he did not dare to take this matter lightly.

“Cao Kun, I want to see what tricks you can do.” Li San gritted his teeth with a look of hatred.
